"Within 3 to 4 years every cell phone will be able to rival today's latest iPhone concerning mobile internet access," says Jo Caudron, a Belgian Internet pioneer. Needless to say, this will greatly encourage the breakthrough of mobile internet. Cell phones are expected to replace computers when it comes to surfing on the internet.
The possibilities of wireless internet are endless. No need to do online research behind your desk, you can go to a charming coffee bar and work there while you are enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. No boss or annoying colleagues to disturb you. And if you need help, you can always contact your elaborated network online through Social Networking Sites.
Of course, when you have some time off, wireless internet can also be useful. Suppose you are strolling around in a city you do not know very well and you are looking for a nice Italian restaurant. Pick up your cell phone and ask your mobile network contacts if they have any suggestions.
As wireless internet is booming, our lives will become more and more mingled with virtual experiences. You can take a picture of a building and your cell phone will tell you which building it is. If you wish so it will provide you with additional information like the date of construction etc. Your cell phone can guide you to the nearest cash dispenser, no matter where you are. Google is even working on a system which enables your mobile phone to recognize faces. No more embarrassing moments when you cannot remember an old friend's name....
